28 Days Later for me is the best zombie movie I've seen in a while (For me it was better than Dawn of the dead remake, Shaun of the dead, Resident evil 1 and 2). I mean the movie had this sense of desperation, and this realistic look that gave me the chills. I haven't seen a zombie movie that scared me this much, although it wasn't much of a zombie movie. It was more of a drama about this 4 people trying to survive in a world gone more mad than it is. Anyone expecting a Resident evil will be completely disappointed with this one. The script was excellent and i must congratulate the writers. The acting was very strong and i think they all did a hell of a good job, they were totally credible. The characters were very well develop and by the end of the movie you care about them which gives the movie more intensity. My favorite characters being Jim, Selena and Hannah...they were all very complex. The story well it wasn't that original really but as i said before it was played more differently than the usual zombie flick. The music/score was fantastic, it was very moody and definitively not usual for this type of movie. Great job! The suspense sequences were very intense especially the tunnel sequence still has me on the edge of my seat. For gore fans well this movie has plenty of gore and some really disturbing scenes (the eye popping scene....DISTURBING!) The great cinematography added more feel to the movie and the shots of London desolated were brilliant! The shots also were very creative and very beautiful indeed. And last but not least the ending, most people had a problem with it but i know i didn't i mean i think it was necessary in order for the movie's message to hit. Easily the best, scariest horror movie of 2003, well for me at least. (*My point of view of the movie was that every bad situation has a way out, and you should never give up.*)
